The news report says it's possible they didn't have lights on. 18 year old farm manager killed .

If they were riding at night without lights, then surely they must be stacking the odds against themselves.
I believe at some stage we must take responsibility for our actions.

My guess would be just working farm bikes, sounds almost like it occurred on a farm track or back road too.

Hey guys,

I have a friend who lives in Te Puke that said a biker went down this morning? I have a few friends over there and cant get hold of some of them. Anyone know anything?

Appreciated.

I live in Te Puke, it happened on the other end of town as far as I know.
Na it was last night in the dark.

We were talking about it this morning at work, it was between a pit bike and a 'road sized bike'. Residents of the street said that they had been racing a few hours before.

The person that died in the accident broke his neck but still had a pulse after the crash, an atempt of CPR was made but it was too late.

Gives me the creeps, even just riding a pocket bike down in a crapark.

RIP
